LET MIMCO
LIGHT the WAY

Editor, The Jewish News:
The City Common Council has
rejected the request of the housing
commission to approve several
housing sites for senior citizens.
Some good citizens of Detroit
have turned out to voice their dis-
approval for fear that their now-
aging properties will devaluate.
Although they were not asked to
make any physical sacrifice, the
citizens ignored the basic prin-
ciple of helping our fellow man,
which is God's plan for humanity.
Evidently, the motto of our
Common Council is: "If you can-
not beat them, join them." Do
they want to abandon senior citi-
zen housing?
Who wants to live to 65 anyway?
Let us build more old folks homes
somewhere in the country over the
hill. Let us build more elaborate
funeral parlors (with piped-in
music), and cemeteries.
Let us close with the ardent wish
that all objectors live to a ripe
old .age, so they may understand
the pain and desolation of our
elder citizens who are the real
victims of selfishness and cruelty.

(Editor's Note: The Common
Council action to which Mr. Teitle-
baum refers took place after pub-
lic meetings in council chambers
May 25 and 26. (Shavout. Resi-
dents of two neighborhoods spoke
out against housing commission
proposals for erection on these
sites of low-cost housing facili-
ties for senior citizens of Detroit,
and the Common Council subse-
quently rejected t h e proposed
locations.

(The sites are in the Southfield-
McNichols and Evergreen-Harvard
areas. Both were selected after ex-
tensive study by the Detroit Hous-
ing Commission and would have
received federal funds for their
construction. The commission had
drawn up plans for the housing.
(Some 450 residents of the South-
field-McNichols neighborhood at-
tended the first meeting and 250
the second.
(Mr. Teitlebaum said the Common
Council has not entirely rejected
city-backed housing for senior
citizens, and Councilman Nicholas
Hood, the only member who backed
the project, would like to reintro-
duce the proposal to the council.)

Coughlin's Diatribes

Editor, The Jewish News:
Father Coughlin's attaining the
age of retirement is being used
as an occasion for an outflow of
ecstatic writeups of the man's
greatness, his achievements, his
awesome power in bygone days
to influence vast audiences - the
days when Nazism and Fascism
were hurling their might against
liberals, democratic government,

MONTREAL—Two Jewish can-
didates from Montreal won seats
in the Quebec Provincial Parlia-
ment, according to recent election
results which gave the Conserva-
tive National Union Party a 55-51-
seat victory over the Liberal Ad-
ministration of Premier Lesage.
The two Jews who won on the
Liberal ticket were Harry Blank,
who was re-elected, and Victor
Gold bloom.
In a press conference, Daniel
Johnson, leader of the National
Union Party, said his party had
received 6 per cent less of the
popular vote than the Liberal Par-
ty partly because of the "Jewish
Vote" in Montreal.

the Jews, religious and ethical
principles, free trade unions, and
the territories and rights of self-
governing nations.
Judging from the articles that
are being written about Coughlin,
the panegyrics and the jubilation,
it would not surprise me if many
people, young and old, conclude
that this ertswhile ranting, rabble-
rousing churchman was truly a
great leader who was maltreated
and wronged by his enemies, and
that had his counsel prevailed, our
world would be a better place to
live in.
This kind of appraisal is utterly
fallacious. A period of a genera-
tion cannot obliterate the facts of
history. When the fate of civiliza-
tion was in the balance, he availed
himself of all the sinister arts of
an insidious and persistent prop-
aganda to weaken the will and
befuddle the minds of the defend-
ers of human freedom. He was the
more dangerous for spouting his
diatribes under an hieratic cloak
of religion and piety.
In view of the current splurge
of grandiloquence about this Fath-
er and his work, it is important to
highlight the facts and point up
the truth. This signifies, of course,
that there is not the slightest in-
tention on any one's part to deny
him his merit as a zealous priest of
the church, e.g. his building up
of The Shrine of the Little Flower.
It is his collateral activities only,
used malignantly and wronghead-
edly, that call for reprobation.

Query : Why All-Faith
Chapel Only at Sinai?

Editor, The Jewish News:
I refer to the intention of con-
structing an "all-faith" chapel at
Sinai Hospital. I assume that at

Roman Catholic and Protestant af-
filiated hospitals the chapels there,
if any, are of the Roman Catholic
and Protestant faiths respectively.
I would assume further that no
Roman Catholic or Protestant hos-
pital provides a Jewish synagogue.
I would assume still further that
Roman Catholics and Protestants
do not and would not expect re-
ligious facilities for them at a Jew-
ish Hospital. In view of the fore-
going, I consider the proposed con-
structing of an "all-faith" chapel
at Sinai Hospital to be silly and
pitiful.
